HTML::Tidy
==========
HTML::Tidy is an HTML checker in a handy dandy object. It's meant as
a companion to [HTML::Lint][1], which is written in Perl but is not
nearly as capable as HTML::Tidy.
PREREQUISITES
=============
HTML::Tidy does very little work. The real work of HTML::Tidy is
done by the tidyp library, which is written in C. To use HTML::Tidy,
you must install tidyp.
There are two, perhaps three, ways to install tidyp:
* Get a tarball from the [tidyp source distributions][2] from
Github and and build it like any other C library. Note that you
must get a source tarball, *not* just clone the source tree via
github.
* Install the [Alien::Tidyp][3] Perl module, which automates the
tidyp installation process.
* Your operating system may also have a package for tidyp that you
can install. As of this writing, these operating systems are known
to provide tidyp library:
* Fedora contains [tidyp-devel package][4]
* FreeBSD contains [tidyp port][5]
You need only do one of these steps.
INSTALLATION
============
Once you have libtidyp installed via one of the previous methods,
install HTML::Tidy like any standard Perl module.
